Hundreds turned out for the event at Corrigans Reserve, held on the International Day of People with Disability.

Young Tyson Martin, who uses a wheelchair, was the star of the show – breaking in the swing for the first time. The photo on the front page speaks for itself. 

While not as verbal, it was clear Laura Harris, Steven Thomas junior and Natalie Bertosa enjoyed it just as much.

The launch was not without its problems, though. Batemans Bay mum Wendy Harris was disappointed daughter Laura could not fully enjoy the experience, as she had serious concerns about her safety.

Her call for further consultation with the community should be heard, should further disability-friendly improvements be undertaken at the Reserve.

Of course, fundraiser Charles Stuart says the Liberty Swing is just the beginning.

He said it was merely the first stage in a campaign for fundraising group the Bay Push, which wants to see an all-inclusive playground at Corrigans of such magnitude that it becomes a holiday attraction, particularly for people from Canberra.

Flight Centre has already come on board, agreeing to donate 1 per cent of payments from holiday bookings to the project if customers mention the Bay Push.

Mr Stuart is confident he can raise $400,000 for the playground. And if the Liberty Swing is anything to go by, there is no limit to what this community can achieve.
